I'm using the Monsternomicon, which is the monster manual for the IK system. It was printed using 3.0 rules but I use Pathfinder/3.5.

Here is my question. Many monsters of the "Beast" type which does not exist in 3.5.

Do I want to change their type to Animal, or to Magic Beast when I convert them? (It makes a difference since there is a druid PC.)

Any knowledgeable responses appreciated.

Animal.

Dinosaurs were Beast type, that got switched to Animal.

Edit: It may have to be a case-by-case, though. I don't have many 3.0 books handy.

It is a case by case situation. If the creature could concievable existed as a real world animal, then it is an animal. If it is a strange creation, then it is a magical beast. If the Int is more than 2, it is automatically a magical beast. If it has any magic/spell like abilities, then it is a magic beast.
